Gris-gris - New Orleans

I can?t say enough great things about this spot! First off, the people that work here are the absolute sweetest and so accommodating- shoutout to our hostess and server who made us feel like family! Secondly, the food is outstanding- honestly anything you order will be great (can?t go wrong). They have amazing cocktails and the atmosphere is so inviting. We can?t wait to come back here next time we are in the city (any every time after that)!

We arrived a bit early for our reservation, but it was no problem...they sat us out on the balcony right away. The food was delicious but not executed properly all the way across the board. The Chicken&Dumplings had carrots in it that were raw still. And the Oyster BLT appetizer had SO much smoke flavor that it was just about inedible. So, we ended up sending it back and our server took it off our bill. The Breaded Shrimp appetizer and the Swordfish&Shrimp Entree were to diefor! The staff here are incredibly helpful, attentive, and friendly. I would go back again to try something different.

We happened upon this place while walking down Magazine Street! It looked so nice and smelled so good that we knew we need to stop here. The food was so delicious my mouth is watering writing about it! We sat at the tables watching the chefs cook and we loved to see them working and making these extravagant dishes!! A super fun and delicious place make sure to come here and make reservations as it gets super busy!

The food here is simply delicious. All of it is food we know and grew up with. Great layers of flavor in each dish. Great atmosphere and location. We had the shrimp fried green tomatoes, chicken gizzard grillades grits, pork belly watermelon to start. All had fantastic flavors and were very fair portions. We moved on to the shrimp gris gris grits and the seafood stuffed crab, wow wow wow!!!! We finished with the chocolate cheesecake, so decadent yet not overwhelming. We enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine and Ferrel’s Storm which was balanced as well as delicious. The service was super friendly and professional without being stuffy. Do yourself a favor and get there now!!! This place is guaranteed to quickly become a New Orleans institution!!! Thank you Eric and Brooke, we will surely return many times!!!

The food was wonderfully flavored and plates beautiful. The Oyster BLT, Fried green tomatoes and Shrimp, and Gizzards and Grillades are all layered with complexity and show the diverse skills the chefs bring to the table. A dish that everyone was raving about and definitely next on my list to try is the Pork belly with compressed Watermelon. In addition to the food, the atmosphere was exquisite and the staff were friendly and professional. There is so much more to try on the menu that I can't wait to go back again and again. No doubt one of the top new restaurants in New Orleans led by a team of long-tested chefs with a wealth of culinary experience they wish to share with you.
